I've just heard about the death of Benny Ashurst at the age of 88.
He was a great character. I fished with him in Ireland near Carrick on Shannon in 1960 when I was a little over 18 years. He spent time advising me about float fishing and shotting.
Later that evening we all got thoroughly stoned in the County Hotel where Benny played the spoons.
Although I never became a matchman, I have great respect for the skills of anglers of Benny's ilk.
RIP
